Well all you peopel out there in blogger land....although I am pretty muchthe worst blogger in the world I do have something to tell everyone. I couln't make it public until all the important people were notified personally so now that feat has been accomplished I can now tell the world - I AM ENGAGED!!! Yes that's right....Mark and I are finally going to tie the knot ofically. It was a supprise to me...although I knew he had the ring and had purchased it some time ago....but he wanted to be sure and he wanted it to be special....I told him that I didn't care howhe did it..I just wanted him to do it. But he wanted it to be a good story, after all that's what everyone asks right? How did he do it? Like it's any of their business but if it's a good story I don't mind sharing. We were out at the ice shack one frigid morning and after he got the fire going, he started to get all the lined set up...you know, puting on a hook and a minnow. So I don't even remember what I was doing....most likely getting some coffee...I can't believe that I was up and out of the house so early on my day off.....Mark asked me what colour hook I wanted..pink or yellow...so of course I chose yellow....and so he fiddled away and then he turned around with my line and asked "What do you think I could catch with this?" Although I didn't even see the ring at first...I was distracted by the hook itself...it looked something like this: 
So you can see why I was distracted by it...but then I saw what I was supposed to see and felt like a big idiot. Of course then I didn't say anything so he had to say "So...will ya?" and of course I said yes.....and that is the story of how he propsed....a good one for the grandkids don't ya think. The plannig has already started....I believe I have found the perfect bridesmaid dresses.......I just have to get them all up here to go and try them on......and I am not only going to be a bride I am also going to be a bridesmaid for Shauna...her and Jason are getting married this summer...mine won't be until next summer......so I have more time to plan and save.....but I am very excited about it and although mark says he's not I can tell that he is excited about it...I just want it to be simple fun and small...although the guest list is upwards of 150 people so hopefully that will get smaller. Any way keep checking back for updates and a link to our wedding website which will be up and running soon....we just need to get a few more details nailed down. Well until next time I have something to say........if they don't find you handsome they should at least find youhandy!
